According to Senator Grace Poe’s pronouncement in media interview, she stalled on the emergency powers of President Duterte because the DOTr has not complied with her request to submit the plans and project listings covered by emergency powers.

Poe reasoned that with a clear road map like short and long term plans, Duterte can be easily hold accountable.

Poe thinks Duterte and his men is corrupt that is why she wants all these safeguards put in place.

Truth be told, the DOTr led by Sec. Tugade has complied all Poe’s pre-conditions for the granting of emergency powers as early as 2016.

But if you listen to Poe’s interviews, she is making it appear DOTr and Tugade are cooperating by failing to submit what her office asked from them.

But thanks to blogger Mark Lopez for exposing Poe as nothing but a TRAPOE, a big thorn, a lump in the throats of the suffering Filipino public who dreams of a stress-free, less traffic Metro Manila roads, especially in EDSA.

In a Facebook post, Lopez shared a screen-grab photo of the transcript of Poe’s 2016 DZMM interview with Noli de Castro wherein she was contradicting what she is telling the public now re DOTr not complying or submitting plans and project listings covered by emergency powers.

In the DZMM interview, Lopez noted that Poe even agreed that emergency powers is necessary, especially when it comes to dealing with biddings, right of way problems and court injunctions as the the main reasons for delayed infra projects.
